I drive Inferno year round barring snow/sleet/sand/salt/ice. It's a car, not a holy relic.

Drive it like you stole it. Metaphorically.

It's a small trickle charger that keeps the battery at 100% while the car is not being used. My dealership told me the battery will lose it's charge within a month if the car isn't used in cold climate like Illinois.

Ummm, some of us drive year-round including snow, sleet, sand, salt, ice, rain etc. As you say, it's a car and that's what you do with cars.
